If you think you’re experiencing cold welding between the bullet and the brass, I would think you’d see pressures/speeds boost. My only experience was with 338 Lapua cases, wet tumbled with stainless pins. Similar experience to the op but with higher speeds and increased es/sd’s, same lots on...

This year my smith spun me up a 7 saum, with a tube from a reputable barrel maker. When I took delivery, he pointed out how “crooked” the bore was in relation to the contour. I can only tell when the thread protector is on honestly. It shoots lights out, and with a Area 419 adapter on it...

I love those model 70’s, especially for hunting. Depending on condition, blued is going to be on the cheaper end. I’d guess $5-700, Stainless a bit more. Take a look at gunbroker, that’ll give you an idea what people are asking.
The 3 I’ve personally owned have been very accurate for mass...

I could see a “feel” issue from it. My origin has a little cock on close and it’s not as smooth as any other custom action I’ve run but still worlds better than my...

If it helps, I just sold a TRG 42 in 338 Lap to build a 7 saum. I sold the TRG more because of the platform rather than the caliber. I’ll come back to it at some point, but for the shooting I’m going to do with that type of system, the saum makes a little more sense at the moment.

I’d probably shoot better too!
